The first Orkneycommunities charity calendar is now on sale, priced £6, from a number of outlets, mainly in Kirkwall at present, but hopefully from lots more if people get in touch with me.
If we sell them all, over £7,000 can be raised for CLAN, Macmillan, and CLIC Sargent.
The calendar features pictures from the Orkney Image Library on Orkneycommunities.co.uk, and comments from contributors that help tell the story behind the image. The calendar opens to A3 (297x420mm) for each month, is printed in full colour on heavyweight semi-glossy paper, has space for notes, and shows moon phases and school holiday dates. It also comes with an envelope for posting, so is an ideal gift for friends or expats outside Orkney, as well as for anyone with an interest in life here.
The range of pictures is truly diverse, but always interesting, and reflects the range of pictures that interests the users of the Image Library. Light at midnight, kids sitting on a whale, a phonebox in the snow glowing from within, fishing boats about to land on Shore Street, and the old red Leonards shop on Bridge Street all feature.
The calendar can be bought from Wm Shearer's, Bruce's Stores, Papdale Stores, Lows Orkney, Nimms, Rendall Furnishings, WR Tullocks, VAO and will also be on sale at the County Show.
